I’m working with a well-established, national, multi-site manufacturing business who have some imminent growth plans for their Telford site, so they need to recruit a Lead Planner to support the manufacturing plant with the extra orders that are now coming through the facility. As they are already leaders in their sector, and have a well-trusted and respected brand, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone to work in a driven and experienced team in a fast paced, and growing business.

The Lead Production Planner will be responsible for:

* Liaising with production and commercial teams regarding production progress

* Utilising data within SAP to ensure production schedules are effective in-line with customer demand data

* Producing long term and short-term fixed production plans

* Resolving any issues/bottlenecks in production and adjusting plans as necessary to react to any changes

Skills and Experience

* Good working knowledge of MS Excel

* Significant experience of Production Planning within a manufacturing business

* Previous experience as Senior Planner / Lead Planner or significant experience in a Production Planner / Production Controller / Production Scheduler role ready to step up into a Lead position
